5.00Bay of Islands definitely pays off - it's beautiful and the boat trip alone is fun - the combination of fascinating nature and then lingering on an island is perfect. A must if you want to explore the North Island. Our guide Henric has the ride, which takes a while additionally enriched with information and history of Aotearoa, which has made the ride extremely entertaining without overloading. A really great trip!
Great experience

5.00I have booked more tours with viator than I can count and this was the BEST. Nancy was an amazing guide for our group. She kept us laughing all day while showing us some of New Zealand's most breathtaking scenery. There were plenty of times for restroom breaks and to get snacks if we were hungry. She knew an incredible amount about local history and culture which made the day even more amazing.
Great guide and tour
